Our Take

Bound Stems' latest offering, "The Family Afloat," is a rollercoaster ride through a kaleidoscope of sound. The Chicago-based band has crafted an album that defies simple categorization, blending elements of indie rock, folk, and electronic music into a truly unique sonic experience. From the infectious pop hooks of "Westmont" to the hauntingly beautiful vocals on "Winston," Bound Stems showcase their versatility and creativity at every turn. The band's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every layer of their music, with each song revealing hidden depths upon each listen. The album's production is crisp and polished, thanks in part to the expert touch of producer John Agnello. The instrumentation is tight and precise, with each member of the band shining in their own right. Lead vocalist Bobby Gallivan's voice soars above the swirling guitars and driving rhythms, adding an emotional depth to the music that is truly captivating. "The Family Afloat" is a bold and ambitious statement from Bound Stems, showcasing a band at the peak of their creative powers. Fans of bands like Broken Social Scene and The National will find much to love here, while newcomers to the band will no doubt be drawn in by the sheer energy and passion on display. In short, Bound Stems have crafted a masterpiece that demands to be heard.
